The problems meant there were queues of angry fans still outside King Power Stadium when the match kicked off at 3pm, according to some of those affected.

Some said they did not gain entry until well into the first half, meaning they missed the team coming out onto the pitch at the stadium for the first time this season, and missed the Foxes' opening goal.

As he was waiting to go into the ground, City fan Paul Hindle tweeted: “Huge queues and angry scenes at KP stadium.

“Total shambles at Leicester City as hundreds of season ticket holders get to turnstiles to find tickets don't work.”

Another fan tweeted: “I got inside eventually. No instructions from the club but they opened a new entrance. First game of the season and I missed the team walking out and the first home goal of the season. Still saw 20 mins of the first half tho.”

Season ticket holder Kenny Griffin, from Glen Parva, told the Mercury: "I've never had these problems before. I had my ticket ready to go in and it wouldn't let me through the turnstyle.

"I was told to go to the club shop and the queue was just horrendous. Lots of people were getting irate as kick off got closer and closer.

"We heard the first goal from outside and missed the team walking out which is everything you want to see.

"I was pretty angry about it. I didn't get in until about 3.20pm. It would have been nice if one of the club officials had come out and explained what was going on, but no one did. The poor security guys were really getting in in the neck through no fault of their own."
